I'm celebrating my 11th anniversary.  Oh, my, what a WONDERFUL 11 years!  I could never have dreamed myself so blissful.

Last month I celebrated 10 years of nonstop breastfeeding.  That's right, I haven't been longer than 2 weeks (iirc) w/o nursing since 1998.  Mooooooooooo!

I also ... uh... "celebrated" ... 1 year of not going down the bath & beauty aisle ... and it's not b/c I stocked up.  1 year of no shampoo, no lotion, no sodium lauryl sulfate, no methylparabens, no petroleum byproducts on my skin or hair!

Huzzah!

Naturemomsblog has a great review of the BPA-free sippy cup options, and a low-down on why we've determined that our cumulative Bisphenol-A load is something that needs to be reduced.  For me, I'm trying to eliminate my use of plastic for food, and greatly reduce it in other areas.  I don't feel a strong attraction to "BPA-free plastic" - b/c just a year ago they were swearing that BPA was safe.  What else is in there that we're not hearing about yet?  I think I'll just forgo the chemical cocktail for now.  (Here's a guide for choosing the right plastics when it's unavoidable.) 

So we have some Kleen Kanteens, a Sigg, and a Foogo.
